Then it’s time to prune them. There’s not a moment to lose. </p> <p>I don’t want to create panic or anything but this really is the time to prune <a title="Raspberries" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/raspberries/">Raspberries</a> if you want a nice big Autumn crop. If you leave it any longer then the plant will start to put more and more energy into the existing canes when what you actually want is the plant to put its energy into this year’s growth, which will subsequently fruit. </p> <p>I know that you can leave <a title="Autumn Raspberries" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/autumn-raspberries/">Autumn Raspberries</a> unpruned and they will crop on the existing canes, just a little earlier. But isn’t that what Summer Raspberries do? Besides, I love my Autumn Raspberries.</p> <p><img src="http://www.mytinyplot.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/raspberries.jpg" alt="" title="raspberries" width="440" height="293" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1939" /></p> <p>Gorgeous handfuls of plump Raspberries in late August, <a title="September" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/september/">September</a> and October, you can’t beat it. My little boy couldn’t eat them fast enough! I <a href="http://www.mytinyplot.co.uk/fruit/time-to-prune-autumn-raspberries/">pruned</a> at this time last year and got a bumper crop so I’m doing it again.</p> <p>And don’t forget the plants wouldn’t mind a nice mulch at this time of year too, rotted manure, home-made compost or wood chippings will do. Happy pruning!</p> <p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mytinyplot/~4/172t2DJT2rk" height="1" width="1"/></p> <div style="display: none">VN:F [1.6.3_896]</div><div class="ratingblock"><div class="ratingblock "><div class="ratingheader ">Rate this Article</div><div class="ratingstars "><div id="article_rater_27858" class="ratepost gdsr-soft gdsr-size-24"><div class="starsbar gdsr-size-24"><div class="gdouter gdheight"><div id="gdr_vote_a27858" style="width: 0px;" class="gdinner gdheight"></div><div id="gdr_stars_a27858" class="gdsr_rating_as"><a id="gdsrX27858X5X0XaXarticle_rater_27858Xarticle_loader_27858X10X24" title="5 / 5" class="s5" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX27858X4X0XaXarticle_rater_27858Xarticle_loader_27858X10X24" title="4 / 5" class="s4" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX27858X3X0XaXarticle_rater_27858Xarticle_loader_27858X10X24" title="3 / 5" class="s3" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX27858X2X0XaXarticle_rater_27858Xarticle_loader_27858X10X24" title="2 / 5" class="s2" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX27858X1X0XaXarticle_rater_27858Xarticle_loader_27858X10X24" title="1 / 5" class="s1" rel="nofollow"></a></div></div></div></div><div id="article_loader_27858" style="display: none; width: 120px; " class="ratingloader article"><div class="loader flower " style="height: 24px"><div class="loaderinner" style="padding-top: 2px">please wait...</div></div></div></div><div class="ratingtext "><div id="gdr_text_a27858">Rating: 0.0/<strong>5</strong> (0 votes cast)</div></div></div></div>
